AM: 10 miles on the treadmill in 80. HR 151.

2 x 20' 

1st rep: 5' each @ 8.6, 8.8, 9.0, 9.2 (HR 165)

2nd rep: 5' each @ 8.6, 8.8, 3' each @ 9.0, 9.2, 9.4 and 1' @ 9.5 (HR 168)

Solid workout. HR was about what it should have been but I could have pushed a little bit. Things were getting hard the last few minutes. I just don't have a lot of leg speed, so running 6:20ish pace on the treadmill is not crushing aerobically but my legs just aren't able to really turn over yet. Things are moving along nicely and once I get the new treadmill and my mileage back up into the 70-80 range over the next several weeks, I think I will be moving along nicely. 

Stopped into the fitness equipment place between the gym and my glass and purchased the treadmill. It's a True 3000 series. 

PM: 60' on the trainer. 211W. HR 129.

It was my 39th birthday. Went out to eat with Megan and the boys and had a decent meal. I had a few beers and a few drinks after. I haven't had anything in about 3 weeks, which seems to be the right approach to life. I had a good day.
